Lose Everything(2/2)

Demon

"Sir. I came from Interpol. " I have a question for you. Just one. If you answer it. I will leave you alone and you'll never see me again.

McGregor looked at him in horror. His nervousness is evident in his face. He grasps Mojito in front of James and drank it.
He calmed down a bit. 

He said, "I knew this day will come".

James: Then you probably know what my question is.

McGregor: Of course I know. I will never forget him. Can you give me one?

James handed him a cigarette. McGregor lit a cigarette and inhaled the smoke.

McGregor: I was a young boy. I didn't have big dreams. Just looking for a job after graduating from university. I knew very well that I did not have a big role in this world. Little did I know that one day my life would change. 

He was the CEO of a reviving small company. He said he wanted to hire me as his right hand. All I had to do was follow him everywhere and do errands work. If I had known the danger that awaited me then, I would never have accepted his offer. At that time, I witnessed a miracle of diplomacy that I had never seen in my life. He set a goal to become the owner of the largest group of companies in the world. He was only 20 years old at that time. He did not want to waste time. He wanted to climb to the top at once. 

He told me to bring the files with all the information. Then he analyzed the information and said that he would dethrone the 5 most influential people in the world. We started to analyze how he could deceive them and take everything to himself. The first was the head of all oil and gas companies. He had alcoholism issues. One day he tricked him into drinking and persuaded him to give everything. Another was the head of a group of technological companies. He had a gambling addiction. He won his gambling and took over his company. Then in front of him was the owner of the food sector. No matter how much he talked to the man, he could not convince him at all. This man was stubborn. One day we entered his office. He smiled and put the envelope on the table. Inside is a picture of his family, children with their hands and arms tied. The man cried and turned everything over to him. 

Within a month, he had gained vast power and wealth. But he did not want to stop again. He needed more. He had to go to the top. The last opponent was left. Strong politician and businessman. He just couldn't beat him. He was a man who made no mistakes and lived only by his principles. No matter how many suggestions he made, this man did not agree. In fact, I knew very well. He could have killed him if he wanted to and got everything, but for him, it was all a game. It was as if he was testing his own strength. 

I didn't understand why he kept me with him for so long. One day when I asked him, he said that he was just holding me as a listener. I don't know maybe he would want me to write a book about him later. 

If I'm not mistaken, a woman destroyed his last opponent. He seemed to admire her that day. He began to spend time with her everywhere. It was as if the devil and angel were living together. I thought maybe the woman would change him. Even marrying her didn't affect him. He left his wife and moved to States, where he began to change the world, opened firms and companies in his name everywhere, and became richer and mightier. He killed thousands of people along the way. He was getting dangerous, more inhuman, and I could see that he was going crazy with every move he made.

I could not stand all this. I threw everything and ran. I hid from him for years. But all my efforts were useless. One day when I entered my house, I saw him sitting in front of me. He was smiling at me devilishly. 

He put his hand on my shoulder "my friend. I understand why you did all this. But you will be punished for betraying me. One day someone will come to you to ask me. You will understand that I sent him. You tell him everything about me". 

Then he said that the end of my life would come. I was happy when I heard the news of his death. But when I saw you, I understood. He is still alive. He always keep an eye on me.

James: And his place ...

Suddenly, McGregor was shot in the chest. Blood was spilled on James. People panicked shouted and ran away.

McGregor fell to the ground and began to shivering.

James nervously: Where did they get married?

McGregor: Church...

James: Which church?

McGregor: You! I saw you! You were with him. Always with him...

McGregor closed his eyes. At that moment, Min Jun and Jamar came and pulled James aside.

Jamar: sir, are you okay?

James: No! I do not understand what he was saying!

Min Jun: He seemed hallucinating.

James: We need to gather all the information. The last resort we have is to find the place where they are married.
